As avid readers of this space already know, we had to split the Clint Curtis Puppy-Naming Contest into two parts once we realized that we don't know whether Clint's new dog will be male or female. Clint chose one name for each possibility. So we get two winners.

If the dog is female, Clint wants to name her "Spirit". That winning suggestion came from Jen.

If the dog is male, Clint wants to name him "Brad". This winning suggestion came from jIM cIRILE.

Clint also chose a first runner-up, with no gender specified, and that was "Oof". Clint says he made this choice in honor of Winter Patriot's son and because the name got so much support in the rest of the thread.

Perhaps Clint was too polite to point out that the other comments in support of the name "Oof" (here and here) were posted by the same clown who suggested the name in the first place! Clint is too much the gentleman to point out such shoddy tactics, but I'm not.

Thanks again to Tracy for her very kind offer; congratulations to Jen and jIM for their victories.

As you may recall, the prize is ... a Brad Bobblehead Doll for each of you!!

OK. Good stuff. Thanks again to Tracy. Thanks again to Clint. And a slap across the knuckles to Winter Patriot, who was the only Brad Blogger who voted more than once. Let alone more than twice. Did he think we were too stupid to catch it? Not around here, WP! If there's one thing a Brad Blogger can spot a mile away, it's VOTER FRAUD!!

omg, I'm so excited!! My internet connection has been sketchy since last Friday so I've had problems "sticking" around... Techie just left so I'm up for now. Checked in to see what I'd missed and lo and behold Clint chose Spirit for if the pup's a female!! AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I GET A SUPER BRAD BOBBLE-HEAD DOLL!!! WOO HOO!!!

You KNOW when I take my cross-country trip right back where I started from Brad will be bobbin' along with me and my doggie on the dash of our beloved '87 Toyota pick up! I'll be smilin' all across the US of A!!
